Plural Marriage
Defending Our Noble Heritage
While I don’t advocate living plural marriage and I sustain the church’s decision to discontinue the practice, I can see the noble role plural marriage played in the early days of the restoration and in the Bible. In short, plural marriage was, when sanctioned by the Lord and His church, an inspired system to bring children and welfare to the saints when needed.
